When thinking about a beach vacation a lot people have never heard of Tybee Island, Georgia. Tybee Island is right off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. Tybee is a small island but it is packed full of activities for everyone who visits. After our first trip there, Tybee Island quickly turned into the perfect summer vacation destination for my own family. We have already been to Tybee Island for summer vacation for the last two years and have yet to see and do all that is available. If you are interested in learning more about this beautiful island, here are just a few of the things to do while visiting Tybee Island, Georgia.

Of course the first thing you think of when you talk about any island is the beach. Tybee Island has a beautiful beach. On the beach you can play in the water or just lounge about. There are even beach rentals like umbrellas, lounge chairs and rafts available for you to rent on a daily basis to make you playtime on the beach even more enjoyable. The sound of the waves will just pull you right in. On our first trip to Tybee we had arrived too early to get into our hotel room so we just picked up our blanket and headed to the beach. The beautiful sound of the water is hard to resist.

If you would like to get even closer to nature, there are many companies on Tybee Island that offer dolphin tours. The bottle nosed dolphins love to frolick in the waters around Tybee Island. The tours are a great experience for everyone in your family. Who doesn't like dolphins?

If you are a fisherman, feel free to bring your rod and reel. For a small fee you can throw your line into the ocean and fish for those beautiful and colorful ocean creatures. Many people love to fish off of the pier on Tybee Island. Heck, I just like to stand out there and see all of the unique ocean fish that everyone reels in.

Oh! The memories! I took my Girl Scout troop from Dallas, Texas to Tybee Island - the Marine Science Center and dissecting octopus, the swamp hiking, the beach combing, and especially the "Crab Shack: Where the Elite Eat in their Bare Feet" made the most fabulous memories . . . Those girls were 13 then, and at 22 years old they all still rave of their time on Tybee! 'Nuf Said??!!
